Abstract

Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in both brain tumors and neurodegenerative diseases, leading to various cellular abnormalities that can promote tumor growth and resistance to thera-pies, as well as impaired energy production and compromised neuronal function. Developing targeted therapies aimed at restoring mitochondrial function and improving overall cellular health could potentially be a promising approach to treating these conditions. Brain-derived exosomes (BR-EVs) have emerged as potential drug delivery vessels for neurological conditions. Herein, we report a new method for creating mitochondria-targeting exosomes and test its application in vitro and in vivo.
